i just baught my second betta after my first one died and this one seems lonley in my 10 gal tank with the other fish and i just noticed that he has some whits little dots on him helpppppppp

either ick or velvet. if you're a local just put a medication called 'nika' general aid into the tank. and it'll be fine. increase the temp to around 28-29 for 2 days and make sure dont turn on the lights.. or you'll get a devastated tank like mine last time. well some of the upside down catfishes din survive as they are scales fishes. the others were ok.. might save u some casualties.

sorry but i dont understand anything you just said can u put it in dummie terms

May be is parasite. Try to get the anti-parasite medicine from the local fish store. Btw, pls take a pic of yr betta to show us. Picture tell everything.

Yes picture tells everything. I think whitespot more likely. If you betta has spots on its body like it has roll over some salt/has salt on his body most likely its whitespot.

Velvet is spots too but in orange/light brown colour. The fish will get infected easily under stress with whitespot and especially high daily temperature fluctuation. The worst I've experience not with fish but myself is in Melbourne. Day time 22-24 C night-time <4 C. 20 degress difference!!! I was worrying about my fish but when I came to my senses it's back home

Does NY has this kind of whether?? If you have probably need to get a heater or something. But then again I'm assuming and suggesting too much.

hi apple, did you purchase the fish from the same fish shop where you bought your 1st betta ?? or do you think it got infected by other fish from your 10 gal tank?

nano this time i baught it from a different shop and the fish in my tank are fine they are all getting along but this betta seems to be like a loner and plus those whit spots ehh i duno im going to take a picture

perhaps u could use RO water for your next betta
try not to use your tap water and see how it goes with a diff fish

if this one dies i dont think im getting another betta no way its sad for me when they die

apple, pls go n do some research or read the articles about the betta n how to keep a betta before you go n get one. I believe the water parameter went wrong at yr place. PH, Chlorine or Copper is the main issue.

And most of my fishes was died due to my house area implemented with few giant size of copper pipes. And the water contained the copper which not really harm to human being. But it is harm to fishes.
